ResumoGougerot-Carteaud syndrome or confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CRP), was first described by Gougerot and Carteaud as dermatosis. It is generally considered a rare condition. The eruption consists confluent, flat, brown papules localized primarily to the intermammary and interscapular regions with subsequent spread to the breast and abdomen; at the periphery, the papules spread out forming a pigmented reticulated pattern. At present, the aetiology of CRP remains unknown. The two prominent theories are an abnormal host response to fungi and a keratinization defect. Other hypothesis include photosensitivity, genetic factor, amyloidosis cutis and endocrinopathy.
